19. Engine braking:

Is illegal.

Is slowing down by downshifting.

Is not encouraged because of the damage it does to the engine.

Shifting to a lower gear produces an effect similar to applying the brakes. This is known as engine braking.

20. How does the stopping distance for motorcycles compare to the stopping distance for cars?

Cars need much longer to stop.

Cars need a little longer to stop.

Motorcycles need longer to stop.

Both motorcycles and cars take about the same amount of time to stop.

Under normal conditions, the stopping distances for motorcycles is nearly the same as it is for cars. However, slippery pavement makes quick stops especially difficult for motorcycle operators.

21. Your lane position should help you:

Communicate your intentions to other drivers.

Keep others from passing you.

Travel to your destination as quickly as possible.

Linger in the blind spots of other drivers.

A properly chosen lane position should protect your lane from other drivers while communicating your intentions to them.

22. When riding through a curve, a group of motorcyclists should:

Ride in a staggered formation.

Ride in a single-file formation.

Ride in a side-by-side formation.

Use both lanes if possible.

While a staggered formation is generally recommended, riders in a group should move into a single-file formation when taking curves, taking turns, entering a highway, or leaving a highway.

23. When riding in a group, the best way to keep ranks close while maintaining an adequate safety cushion is to ride:

In pairs.

In a staggered formation.

In a single-file line.

In a passing formation.

A staggered formation is the best way to keep ranks close while still maintaining an adequate space cushion for all riders. Ride in a single-file line when riding in curves, turning, or entering or leaving a highway. Never ride side-by-side with another rider.

24. When riding in a group, motorcyclists:

Do not need space cushions.

Should increase their space cushions.

Should reduce their usual space cushions by half.

Should maintain adequate space cushions.

When riding in a group, you should maintain close ranks but still keep an adequate space cushion around each rider.

25. When riding near stopped or slow-moving cars, a motorcyclist should:

Pull over and wait until traffic begins to move.

Ride on the shoulder to get through the area as quickly as possible.

Weave between the cars to get through the area as quickly as possible.

Not weave between the cars.

Riding between slowed or parked cars can leave you vulnerable to unexpected hazards, such as opening car doors or cars suddenly pulling into traffic. If a hazard arises, you will not have room to safely maneuver. Never travel on the shoulder of a road because other drivers will never expect you to be there.
